"And that vaunted horsetail hibernating?" - I asked in surprise friend, who asked him to show the plant. He expected to see on the stem for normal horsetails finest muslin leaves, and here, on the edge of the forest, sticking absolutely bare, dark green stems almost a meter tall with a few bulges interstices. The river is reminiscent Kugu.
Below, along the edge of the forest, almost solid wall grew horsetail. Young plants resembled pine, adult "pine needles" blossomed in corymbose leaves.
More below, in the valley of crude, piss off and squish under your feet, near the creek, marsh horsetail reigned. And if you enter deeper into the forest, it would be possible to find horsetail branched or forest. Here, in a small area near the mouth of Bersuvani, it can be said, the kingdom of horsetails.
But we came for the winter horsetail, more precisely, wintering. He really goes for the winter under the snow green, and early spring, when there are more black ink and there is no grass, greens wintered, tarnished horsetail, visible from afar original stockade.
Now, in July, you take him for the tip and pulling fresh stalk, like the tip of a stereoscopic rods, because the old, over-wintered, and remains stuck in the land of the empty casing.
Information about it can be found, perhaps, only in Lavrenev "Complete Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants", because the plant is used very rarely, and very few people know him. Moreover, you ought to be able to apply it, and there are no recipes. Using random - close to trouble, poisonous plant.
But connoisseurs of traditional medicine in China, Europe, America, here in Siberia used horsetail hibernating in diseases of the urinary bladder, hematuria, urinary incontinence, chronic urethritis, some diseases of the kidneys. The herb is used for heavy menstruation, haemorrhoids, leucorrhoea, inflammation of the ulcerated eye. However, like other horsetails, used for pulmonary tuberculosis, bronchitis, pleural effusion, sore throat, headache, influenza like analgesic for rheumatism.
In Indochina, the grass is considered a means of cleansing the stomach. The Indians used horsetail hibernating ulcers, tumors, inflammation of the mammary gland and intestines. In Korea, it is used as a hemostatic with nosebleeds, coughing up blood, intestinal bleeding, hemorrhoids and uterine bleeding, leucorrhoea, edema, diseases of the eye.
Over wintering horsetail I go out with a purpose. I have it only goes to a few diseases, which have long been tested and gives results. First of all, I use it in the treatment of uterine cancer. Not in a row, that is, not in every case, and selectively - where it is more needed. It is interesting that here. Normally you look at the chemical composition of plants: whether it contains triterpene compounds, hydroquinone, or that the amount of alkaloids, inhibit cancer cell growth. And horsetail hibernated nothing. Here, silicic acid, dimethyl sulfone, sugars, tannins, resins ekvizitinovaya acid, mucus alkaloid nicotine. Other alkaloids in the plant is so small that some researchers are not detected. What can act here? Is the alkaloid nicotine? Or the result of bringing the entire medical complex, which includes horsetail hibernating? In any case, albeit after a long treatment, people recovered. Applied I horsetail hibernating in the treatment of fibroids, fibroids. And more good help he provided in exudative pleurisy - gave accumulate fluid in the pleura with lung cancer.
Help from horsetail hibernating I saw and throat cancer. Here, apparently, a huge affected silicon content in the grass.
UTERINE CANCER. 1 tablespoon dry chopped herbs, pour a glass of boiling water, cover and insist 2 hours. Strain. Half a glass of drink in the morning and the other half - in the evening, two hours before bedtime. Long did not drink. Course - 3 to 4 weeks. Then a break.
Throat cancer. 3 tablespoons of horsetail hibernating boil 1 liter of water for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, dissolve in the strained broth 4 tablespoons of honey and bring to a boil again. But do not cook. Allow to cool. And warm decoction gargle 10 times a day.
***
Horsetail wintering toxic, it is necessary to know. And it is not abused. Like all horsetails, it is contraindicated in acute inflammation of the kidneys - in these cases does not apply. If you experience discomfort (lung poisoning) dose subtract half. And be sure to tell your doctor has ordered medicine, any discomfort or ailments.

301. horsetail

PicturePicture


Of all horsetails it is more popular in folk medicine. Probably because it is as moss and fern, one of the most ancient in the world of herbaceous plants, survived the deluge. Judging from the fossil horsetail, they could look a twelve branches in the window of the house. But then, that meant a flood, and many climate change - turned horsetail seedlings in no more than two palms in height, and has become a common weed. But he survived. And helping others to live.
By the way, in the collection of horsetail should remember that it is necessary to pluck only two hands and dry necessarily in the shade. It would seem almost dry and rustling in the collection, he quickly syreet and myaknet in the basket, and if not properly dried yellow - such a remedy has already resent.
Horsetail helps with edema on the soil of circulatory failure, heart failure, inflammation of the bladder, with pleurisy with plenty of fluid, with hemorrhoids, stomach bleeding. Use it in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, with metabolic disorders. It improves the salt water metabolism.
The horsetail note that the very structure of the solid structure and it "gives" its purpose. The stem and leaves of the plant consists of inserted one into the other short sleeves bonded to each other through a kind of "joint" and worn tightly on them "covers". This kind of plant like an impression of the human spine. Is it not surprising that it is a medicinal plant perfectly cures all diseases related to the spine, musculoskeletal system (rheumatism, gout, arthritis, arthrosis). Equisetum contains a lot of minerals, but it is particularly rich in silica (silica), significant quantities of which our body needs in order to have healthy bones, cartilage, nails, hair. Silica is also important in wound healing - I repeat the word of experts. They found that 25% horsetail contains ash, which includes up to 80% silica.
In horsetail as in hibernated equally present, besides silica, saponin ekvizetonin nicotine. All the same, I'm looking for the secret of antitumor action of horsetail. Perhaps this is the alkaloid nicotine.
Horsetail first I give in liver cancer (metastases or her). But it includes other anticancer complexes. Horsetail is especially needed patients who have undergone radiation or chemotherapy, as it helps cleanse the body, especially the liver from toxins. I apply horsetail and cancer of the stomach, intestines, lungs.
CANCER (various sites, but primarily the liver). 1 tablespoon dry chopped herbs, pour a glass of boiling water, to insist 2 hours, strain. Take 1/3 cup 3 times a day 30 to 40 minutes after a meal in a warm (certainly one of the anticancer tinctures - depending on the affected organ).
Because horsetail preparing alcohol tincture, 5 tablespoons of grass to 0.5 liters of vodka. Infuse for 27 days. Take 1 teaspoon 2 to 3 times a day. But apart giving it rare, especially if it includes in the antitumor balm. One of anticancer balms with liver cancer may look like this: 100 ml infusions of horsetail, 50 ml of tincture of grass Boudreau, 50 ml of tincture or juice thoroughwax, 100 ml of tincture of peony, 50 ml of tincture of burdock root (or burdock flowers), 50 ml of cyanosis. Again, I cite balm scheme only as a sample. And he does not go all the time, but with each new monthly complex balm can be very different - it all depends on the individual characteristics and condition of the patient.
I do not want to be limited only by its anti-cancer recipes, especially as horsetail many other useful applications. Let's start with the most simple.
ADENOIDS. We get rid of them in this way. 1 cup of plain water poured 2 tablespoons of horsetail grass, brought to a boil. On low heat to boil July 8 minutes, then for 2 hours. Thoroughly wash the nasopharynx January 2 (preferably 2) times per day for one week. If one treatment does not help, a few days later to repeat the course.
PLEURISY. 1 tablespoon of dry grass to fill in 0.5 liters of boiling water. Insist 3 hours, drain. Take half a cup 4 times a day half an hour after eating. Ten days to be checked for the presence of pleural fluid in the lungs.
Renal stone disease. A teaspoon with the top herbs horsetail pour a cup of boiling water, to insist in heat 20 minutes, strain and drink in small sips on an empty stomach in the morning - 20 30 minutes before breakfast. Only one drink every day. course of treatment 2 3 months. Do not miss a day!
Pulmonary tuberculosis, uterine and hemorrhoidal bleeding, swelling of the SOIL circulatory failure, inflammation of the bladder, pleurisy with lots of exudates, dysentery, inguinal hernia, gall stone disease, gout, muscle weakness, metabolic disorders. Do not be lazy, collect a sufficient number of horsetail, let him lie down in a pile of February 1 hour, scroll through a meat grinder and squeeze the juice. Do not be deceived by the fact that the grass looks dry - juice in it enough. In an extreme case, moisten prepared in advance for vodka infusions. Press juice. Mix it up by volume mixed with vodka. Store in a dark cool place. Take 1 teaspoon of water 3 times a day 30 to 40 minutes after a meal, in a glass of water or drinking water. Take a month, take a break for 10 days and continue treatment for a long time, if necessary, with the same intervals. Who can not stand vodka, the juice can be mixed with an equal volume with a good red wine. His take on 25 30 ml (a small shot of wine) just 3 times a day half an hour after eating. And you will feel a surge of strength, even if many of these diseases have not. Normalizes the general metabolic processes, that is, the internal organs are friendly towards each other and work together to provide assistance if needed.
***
It should be remembered that long reception of horsetail preparations causing acidification of urine, so patients with persistent acid reaction of urine to prevent crystallization of urate stones to form, additional alkalinization measures.
Horsetail is contraindicated in acute inflammation of the kidneys, acute glomerulonephritis. Question about the harmful effects of horsetail with nephrosis and nephritis leave open. Apparently, the doctor's indication of going to the acute phase of the disease, while in chronic nephritis and nephrosis have a good recipe: 2 tablespoons herb pour a cup of boiling water, float in a water bath for 15 minutes, strain through 15 minutes. Take 1/3 cup an hour after eating.

302. hops ordinary
PicturePicture


For herbalist most valuable in hops - the flowers. In Tibetan medicine in ancient times more hops flowers are used as a safe anti-cancer agent. It was believed that cancer cured hops, prevents recurrence. I'm not a Tibetan lama, but on the hop flowers look as valuable divine gift.
Blooming hops have to watch. Already summer has passed for middle and flowers in grozdochkah still tight as small balls - a bit late, and stood cold rainy days. And suddenly - the very next day, as if on cue, they begin to blossom, to multilayer whip twisted from several branches, greenish yellow air hanging bunches, promising to attack the highly anticipated July heat.
At this point not miss your chance. You take with you just two baskets (in closed containers, especially in a plastic bag, in any case can not be collected - flowers once nagrevayutsyai quickly "burn", turning into a shapeless mass of greenish brown). I have in mind a few "Khmelev" places. And all of them near the river in the thick of uremia. You go, pushing high above the head, the wall of nettles. Oddly berezhёshsya, hands and cheeks mercilessly burn nastegannye their tops. Sweat trickling out. But luxury hop vines on all sides wrapped around buckthorn brittle. It is a low and convenient to collect. Hordes raid horseflies, gadflies, mosquitoes. But soon they cease to pay attention. Baskets slowly filled with clusters of small flowers.
What I'm really familiar, and in the lush hmelevnike more than three hours can not stand - the ubiquitous Khmelev inhale pollen and begins to feel dizzy. He asked for me to collect the flowers a friend of mine, a very talented herbalist. Much younger than me, short, thin, he climbed the elm, which at a height of four to five meters hops formed a luxury tent - it will last for a few baskets. An hour later, I saw - first bag falls to the ground and falling on top of him, this is my friend. Fortunately, successfully landed. Just laugh.
We got to the shore of the river, had lunch, rested and then rushed to the impassable jungle. More will have to work for two days, so long as hops blossoms. Later, these dried flowers - at first it seems a lot of them, as well as the dried soberёsh - just typed a small cardboard box. However, the colors of the leaves on vodka infusion. Her dripping 20 drops in a portion of the root decoction of hops - antitumor agent, too.
But in late August and harvesting hops begins in September. Here too there are differences. For some purposes you take over-mature, with a dusky hue, other potions - bright green, unripe.
In the literature everywhere it speaks only of cones (while curative stems with leaves and all other parts of hops).
Seedheads buds, of course, are the most widely used in folk medicine. They have long been used for nervous exhaustion, nervousness, insomnia, gastritis, cystitis, urethritis, diseases of the renal pelvis, liver and gallbladder, as well as a means of strengthening the cardiovascular system, particularly given the weakness of the myocardium. Apply them and headache, dizziness, pulmonary tuberculosis, metabolic disorders, disorder of intestinal flu, as a tonic in the form of baths in paralysis, gout, rheumatism, nephritis. Infusion of herbs and drink a cold, to improve vision, in dropsy, malaria, sometimes as an abortifacient. The ointment of powder cones (in the domestic pork fat in a ratio of 1: 4) is used for poorly healing ulcers, bruises as a painkiller, for rheumatic pain and neuralgia, for the treatment of psoriasis, boils.
When insomnia make pillow filled with hops cones. I remember mom made these pads for the younger brother, had been ill with meningitis - to fewer headaches and sleep better.
Infusion of hop cones women used in the treatment trihomonadnyh obesity and vaginitis.
Hop Cones and have antiallergic activity.
Let not surprised such a diversity of hops. All doubts will dispel the chemical composition of plants. For example, hop cones contain bitter substances, they found nearly a hundred components, and chief among them - lupulin. Installed estrogen, ie hormonal activity of hop cones. It's only a hundred components of bitter substances. And if you begin to list everything else ?!
Referring to the medical properties.
PHLEBEURYSM. 2 tablespoons stems of buds pour 0.5 liters of boiling water, to float on the water bath for 15 minutes, then infuse 30 to 40 minutes. Drink half a cup 3 times a day for half an hour before meals.
Fatigue, menopause, cystitis, increased sexual excitability, especially in women. 2 teaspoons of grass, or even better, mature buds pour a glass of boiling water, to insist in heat 30 to 40 minutes. Drink 1/3 cup 3 times a day for half an hour before meals.
ALLERGY. 1 tablespoon of buds pour a glass of boiling water, put in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Allow to cool, strain. Drink 1/4 cup 3 times a day before meals. At the same time in the same broth wash sores on the skin of the place, if you are allergic came out.
CHOLECYSTITIS. 2 tablespoons of cones and a half cups of boiling water, cover and infuse for 3 hours. Drink 1 glass 4 times a day.
Gastric cancer, lung, liver. 1 tablespoon of immature buds pour a glass of boiling water, leave on low heat evaporated to one-third. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day before meals.
Cancer of the liver and other sites. I advise you to brew 1 tablespoon of hop flowers cup of boiling water, let boil for exactly one minute, insist 2 hours, strain. Take 50 to 60 ml (1/3 cup) 3 times a day before meals. Even without the antitumor balm Tibetan doctors cured cancer (apparently, the second the third stage).
A month later, the flowers have a rest, instead I give a decoction of the roots of hops 1 teaspoon crushed roots pour a glass of boiling water, cook on low heat for five minutes, or soar in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes, insist 2 hours, drain. Take 1/4 cup 3 to 4 times a day, dripping from a pipette into each dose received 20 drops hop flowers tincture. All of these drugs are transported easily and significantly improve the patient's condition. One might ask me: and if they are alive? Alive, I can introduce if they wish (most people, having peace of hell, trying not to think about it or simply, once confessed to me, afraid as they were not jinxed detractors).
Here you have the hops hmelyushko!

303. horseradish

PicturePicture


Among other herbs horseradish garden is somewhere in the back, as they say: pripёka side. And eat not really sing - except as seasoning sensitive, appetite and diversity. And for medicinal purposes, he is not the champion, not in the big leagues to play it, and in a domestic team of a provincial town or village.
In folk medicine, it is recommended to improve the appetite - for that there are better, more useful herbs. As a diuretic and kidney stones - again, there are more effective green brothers. It lowers blood sugar? Commendable. However, in this respect the hell did not succeed, other plants, including vegetable, long time ahead of him and left him behind. That looked like he was on an old grandfather, sitting on the bench in the boots village house in a quiet summer day. It even ascorbic acid in the cleaned root collapses within hours.
But let's not rush to write off the circulation in his grandfather. Life has convinced me that there is not nothing in the world is useless. And I would not be surprised if this grandfather in boots on hot black horses priskachut heralds with silver trumpets, the whole sleepy village strike up a fanfare, and grandfather announced that the royal throne for a long time waiting for him and it's time to take it until you showed up the other contenders. And today, the throne is only for him, and the fact there is a corresponding decree.
Middle-aged man, silent, modestly dressed, sitting next to me. He knows that as such I am not receiving that unlike other herbalists to me or get the unit to my daughter. I also learn in silence statements, analyzes, conclusions and wondered what to do. The man came from afar and knows about his disease and listened to dozens of failures of doctors, and now silence (not begging rescue, exalted without explanation) anticipates what will be my reply. Of course, much easier it would be to give up, and he would, I am sure, was not offended. But the man did a long journey, perhaps, at this meeting last seen the saving thread. How could I refuse him, knowing what awaits him beyond the threshold.
Diagnosis: cryptogenic cirrhosis. In other words, the cause of cirrhosis of the liver has not been established. Sick of alcohol did not play. However, in the distant childhood in question put jaundice (Botkin's disease), but the findings of the doctors had not been confirmed.
Harmful production? Also no. "Maybe, connect the hell?" - Suggested a daughter. And then I decided. The complex for the next two or three months: what herbs and tinctures to food, which - after, and that in addition to connect. Uninitiated person in this process there is little to say, in what order and sequence were thoroughwax golden juice, grass Boudreau, turnip, chicory and other. A tincture of horseradish leaf was put at the forefront. Below I'll show you how it is prepared. At the end of the story but add that it's been half a year, this man continues to work and be a father of a family (he has three young children).
A grandfather fucking tears from the royal throne, to his back went. He does not mess around. Something that makes the detail. Just who is sick bones, worms caught by Murka or drank too much, suffering a hangover - wise advice will help. And what, then, to live in the world?
HANGOVER. Pound horseradish root into mush. 1 tablespoon of pulp diluted in half a glass of water and give to drink - all yesterday hops fly, opens the appetite and eat - man made.
WORMS. 20 g of grated horseradish and garlic 20 g pulp pour 0.5 liters of vodka, insist 10 days. Take 1 tablespoon per day. This cocktail is not like parasites, and they make haste to leave the habitat.
Loss of voice. 1 tablespoon grated horseradish pour a glass of boiling water for 20 minutes, drain, squeeze. Add sugar to taste. Take 1 teaspoon several times a day in small sips.
OTITIS. Squeeze horseradish juice dripping embers in 1 2 drops from the pipette 3 times a day.
CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER. Finely chop the leaves of horseradish July 5 (the best on the eve of Midsummer Day, in the first five days of July - young, strong, neobedennye slugs), add 0.5 liters of vodka and insist in a dark place 1 week. Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day before meals. It gives good results.
Angina pectoris. The villages were treated as follows: will overcome the roots of the juice mixed with honey in half. Take 2 teaspoons of an hour before breakfast (stir every time). The course is 1 month. If discomfort dose reduced. After 2 months of the course can be repeated.
DARK (pigment) spots on the skin, as well as freckles, sunburn. 50 g of grated horseradish pour 250 ml of vinegar (9 °). Bottle close-fitting cap and put in a dark cool place. After 2 weeks of infusion drain and add 1.5 liters of cold water. This liquid to wipe the face, morning and evening to dryness.
HYPERTENSION. When you get tired to drink tablets, try to rub 250 g of horseradish roots, pour 3 liters kipyachenoyvody, cook on low heat for 20 minutes. After cooling strain. Take half a cup 3 times a day before meals. It seems that a pill will not be back soon.
***
Horseradish is useful in many infectious diseases. The fresh juice contains a significant amount of lysozyme - Protein substance capable of dissolving the microbial membrane, thus creating an antibacterial barrier in the body. Lysozyme as it strips naked bacteria and throws them away.
Not everyone can take advantage of horseradish. It is contraindicated in cases of gastritis with high acidity, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. For therapeutic purposes, it is not suitable for colitis. It should be completely excluded in inflammatory kidney diseases. Not friendly with horseradish pancreas. With the use of high doses of horseradish can develop gastroenteritis. The use as a diuretic is permissible but it should be excluded when edema of renal disease.
Large doses can cause burns of the mucous membrane of the mouth, stomach, intestines.
